ENOUGH
We've had enough
we want our boys home
there's no need for more dying
on battle fields all alone
These wars stealing lives
and not just of the soldiers
broken hearts of their families
dealing with new burdened shoulders
Dead, disabled
body and spirit
the families cry out ENOUGH
but our leaders don't hear it
Playing their politics
doing so for their profit
the war machine must continue
and reelection first on the docket
They've forgotten the people
the little guy no longer matters
since Citizens United
allowed these politicians new handlers
The ballot belongs to the rich
it's money stuffing the box
and one of these days
we'll find our country on blocks
